Updated
Trello exports are imported as a bulk file — a entire board. premium workspace admins can also export all workspace boards. — not a live connection.
Bulk scope and format
| Bulk scope | Entire board. Premium Workspace admins can also export all Workspace boards. |

Plan and export limits
- JSON includes board structure and the 1,000 most recent actions, including comments.
- CSV export is available to Premium Workspaces and omits comments.
